Valor Christian QB Luke Del Rio plans to walk on at Alabama

Valor Christian quarterback Luke Del Rio posted on his Twitter account Saturday that he is planning to walk on at Alabama.

"Walking On at the University of Alabama #Roll- Tide #blessed," he wrote.

Del Rio, who led the Eagles to the Class 5A state championship this month, decommitted from Oklahoma State last Tuesday.

Del Rio had committed to the Cowboys in May. His family had a connection with OSU offensive coordinator Todd Monken, who worked under Jack Del Rio — now the Broncos' defensive coordinator — when Del Rio was the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars. But last Tuesday, Monken was named head coach at Southern Mississippi.

Luke Del Rio visited Alabama and Oregon State last week. Colorado State also was recruiting Del Rio.

Del Rio plans to graduate from high school a semester early.

"It's Alabama — it pretty much speaks for itself," Del Rio told BamaOnline. "They have a great winning tradition and aren't going to change their pro-style system. I think it's another great fit."

Del Rio, who passed for 2,275 yards and 28 touchdowns this year and threw only four interceptions, will join 2013 commitments Cooper Bateman and Parker McLeod as quarterbacks joining the Crimson Tide's roster, according to BamaOnline.
